Actress Keisha Knight-Pulliam to Speak to Detroit Girls at Kenedi Treasure Brunch

DETROIT - Sept. 23, 2014 - PRLog -- Knight Pulliam, who is the CEO of Kizzy Productions and founder of non-profit Kamp Kizzy will be joining Detroit-born, Atlanta-based teenprenuers Kenedi and Treasure Bishop as a speaker at their first You Go Girl Empowerment Brunch. The event is designed to get young women to express, entertain and empower themselves through beauty, brains and business. A slew of celebrities are confirmed for the afternoon.

“You Go Girl is an online and networking platform that connects women whose goals include becoming more socially and financially empowered,” explained Treasure Bishop. “As a university student, I’m learning that while there are a lot of things you will acquire in gaining your degree, there are some things that are better learned by experiencing things first hand. We want to give attendees the idea to be the best in whatever they want to pursue and if there is something that you see doesn’t fit you, go out there and create it.”

“We aren’t special and we weren’t born with silver spoons in our mouth,” added her sister Kenedi. “What we have achieved comes with being able to start over after some ideas failed and continuing to push even when we feel like giving up. We want to give the women who attend a chance to meet some of the people who inspired us all and have them teach us different ways of working towards success.”

“Keisha is the perfect fit for this because she is someone we all related to,” added Treasure. “She is also one of the few people who have transitioned from successful child to successful adult in an industry known to put pressure on people. She still went off to Spelman and earned her degree and still gives back in so many ways. She’s a woman that young women of color can see themselves in and we are happy she accepted our invitation to join this conference.”

At 17 and 18 years old, sisters Kenedi and Treasure Bishop are already in their third year as successful entrepreneurs. They are behind several brands including Kenedi Treasure Cosmetics lip glosses and nail polishes for teens (www.keneditreasure.com) and PrayMates, a gospel-inspired t-shirt line for women and girls (www.mypraymates.com). They are also the producers of several celebrity teen parties which have seen the likes of Jacob Latimore, Mindless Behavior and more. The sisters have taken time out to speak and inspire women and girls in Atlanta, Detroit, Los Angeles and New York, and will be heading to the Caribbean to expand their portfolio. K.I.T.E (Konnecting the Incarcerated Though Excellence), their non-profit program that helps children with at least one incarcerated parent  is something they relate to well after their own father served time (www.savemykite.org). Despite their heavy business load, they still balance their books as students in high school and college.
